Speed dating at the RSPCA this Valentines
In search of your perfect pet partner? Look no further!
The Milton Keynes & North Bucks RSPCA is
holding a Valentine’s speed dating weekend on February 9 and 10 to help find that perfect puss.
The event promises a fun way to meet the four-legged love of your life. Volunteers will be hosting special ‘speed dates’ with the centre’s cats and, to add to the ambience, there will be romantic music and some subdued lighting.
Examples of the feline lonely hearts looking for loving homes include:
• Tabby female, six years old, petite, a little shy and nervous. WLTM a happy family to help bring her out of her shell.
• White male, five years old, slightly overweight but with own teeth, outgoing. WLTM a family with other cats for fun and frolics.
• Black & white female, one year old, playful and enjoys adventures. WLTM a family with similar interests.
• Black male, eight years old, stray, used to living alone. WLTM a single person or couple who enjoy quiet nights in.
Aside from the chance to meet that ideal pet partner, the RSPCA is offering all those who attend the event free entry to a prize draw, with the chance to win a suitably romantic bottle of Champagne (subject to conditions).
Bookings for the dating sessions must be made with the centre, and would-be animal adopters should also prepare for a home visit from the charity.
To help cover running costs, all those who do ‘fall in love’ at the speed dating sessions will be asked to donate a minimum of £40 for each cat.
All adult cats at the RSPCA are neutered, microchipped (to help with identification if lost) and are treated for fleas and worms. They will also have had at least their first vaccinations (for flu/enteritis/ leukaemia).
Vivienne Dalton, RSPCA Cattery Co-ordinator, said: “We all know that pets can provide truly special relationships – so what better event than Valentine’s for some of our loving, beautiful but homeless cats to find their perfect owners?
“We work hard all year round to care for and re-home animals in the local area and we hope that this novel approach will result in many of our cats going to warm, loving homes.” K
